Located in Curacao and fully licensed by the Government of Costa Rica, Bet Royal has been in the business for more than 9 years. While still relatively young compared to the much experienced betting powerhouse companies, the company makes use of the latest technology to keep in step with their competition. Its dynamic interface really sets the bar high for other online betting sites, old and new.

Bonus Offers and Free Bets

Despite the discontinuance of their No Deposit Bonus program for Bet Royal Casino players, the site applies a theme for their daily programs, which usually give out deposit and wager bonuses on specific lines and services such as the NFL, Horse Racing, and the Casino. Bet Royal also has a wide selection of Sign-up bonuses of different usage: Cash, Free Play, Sportsbook, Horse Race, and Casino. The site follows the mentality of “larger deposits generate heftier bonuses”. Its Referral program gives a better premium than most sites, particularly a 15% cash referral bonus.

A promotion that deserves mention is the VIP program of the Casino section in the site, wherein points can be earned to be exchanged for special bonuses.

Opening an Account

Registering a Bet Royal account is a complete process, but takes little work on the customer’s end. A very short sign-up module can be seen on the site’s main page. This helps in the automatic input of some information on the actual registration page that follows. Mandatory personal information asked in the application form is very simple and selected, while space is also provided for optional data.

Options for deposits and payouts follows the application process, but isn’t a requirement. This can enable you to test drive the site first and get a feel on its wagers and lines.

Navigation and Design

Hands down, Bet Royal has one of the best software interfaces in the sportsbook industry. It’s not only the organization and cleanliness of the screens that make its design commendable, but also, pertinent and value-added information is being provided by the screens during important stages in a bettor’s activity. While placing a wager, one can see his/her total balance split into “Available Balance” and “In-Play” money, helping a bettor decide with due knowledge of what his balance and active bets are.

Type of Bets Taken

Just like any other sportsbook, Bet Royal also has a wide range of betting lines, from parlays to future predictions and teasers. Game and half-time lines are also available with interesting odds and scenarios that can rival with the competition. However, it has been said that the lines of Bet Royal usually come in the nick of time, leaving bettors with little time to ponder on wagers. Most sites release their lines on the night before the event at the latest, while Bet Royal has a reputation of releasing its lines on the day of the event.

The site’s focus is on these sports:

• Baseball
• Basketball
• Boxing
• Cricket
• Football
• Golf
• Ice Hockey
• Motorsport
• NASCAR
• Rugby
• Soccer
• Tennis
• UFC

Betting Information

The site also release lines on Politics and Propositions, but the most interesting lines can be found in the Xotics section, wherein anything in the news can suddenly become a line for wager. New additions to Bet Royal’s growing lineup of services are its Horse Racing, Casino, and Poker functions.

Customer Service

Using their name to promote their quality of service, the site refers to its Client Services Department as a “Royal Treatment” for its customers. The site has different channels (depending on the inquiry) for their 24/7 phone and e-mail customer support. Postal mail and Facsimile are other options, although they aren’t widely used anymore.

Verdict

In scanning and surfing through Bet Royal’s content, it can be noticed that the site has a good overall software sense. However, its betting lines are very common and the leeway its gives bettors are certainly drawbacks. The most important thing for a bettor is to win, or at least come close to winning. Having “late-than-usual” lines certainly doesn’t help the customers, or Bet Royal.
